To save your relationship from 'storms' you will need to set boundaries that will not be intruded upon by anyone whatsoever. When you set these boundaries, either between you or in relation to other people, they kind of insure you against unnecessary misunderstandings. It also saves you the shame of not knowing or 'understanding' your partner well.

Here are the boundaries you need to set to save your relationship.

1. Time

In any relationship whatsoever, you have to ensure that you respect the time and give it strict importance. If it is calling or talking or just meeting, it has to be at a time that is convenient for both of you. Your partner has to understand that you may have limitations or may be engaged during certain times of the day. Likewise, you will understand that they do not have to be free all of the time.

2. Space

You must agree on and set the space that will be respected and insured from intrusion. You will need to have that space to be yourself as well. Just because you are in a relationship does not mean you will abandon your life for their sake. You need the space to be yourself. Setting the boundaries and well defining them will save you the trouble.

3. Emotional

Love will always be accompanied by varied emotions. There could be instances both good and bad that will arouse emotions. In all cases, you have to set the emotional boundaries and your partner will have to respect. They will not be allowed to intrude or enquire further than the allowed limit. This will be useful especially when one of you or both of you are too emotional and cannot fully control your emotions.

4. Sexual

When in love, you will have to set boundaries regarding sex and check your sexual life. It should not be a routine that once you meet, you have sex. Too much sex could damage your lobe anyway.

5. Privacy

You will have to set boundaries on how close they can come. Just because you are in love does not mean you will have to lay everything bare and that they are entitled to everything you have. They should only come close to a certain level. For example, it is not always healthy for them to go through all the stuff on your phone.
